        The span of time over which the collection of a specimen occurred.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Duration that may be null.

      • getQuantity

        public SimpleQuantity getQuantity()
        The quantity of specimen collected; for instance the volume of a blood sample, or the physical measurement of an anatomic pathology sample.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type SimpleQuantity that may be null.

      • getMethod

      • accept

        public void accept​(java.lang.String elementName,
                   int elementIndex,
                   Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this: 
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
     visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
         // visit children
     }
     visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
     visitor.postVisit(this);
 }
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
        Specified by:
        accept in class AbstractVisitable
        Parameters:
        elementName - the name of the element in the context of this visit
        elementIndex - the index of the element in a list or -1 if it is not contained within a List
        visitor - the visitor to use
